Hi everyone.   Just joined MSW and wished I had found this site before.  I just completed the Albatrose model by Occre and enjoyed it a lot, but with a ton of mistakes.  But I did finish it although  the sails were over the top and left them out.  I looking at a new project and thinking something like the Le Suparbe by Mantua or the Victory HMS Prasus  by Amante.  Would I be attempting  a model over the skill set that I learned from the Albatrose?  Thanks for the feedback  and thanks for letting me join.  John

Welcome to MSW John!   Not to worry about the sails, you are not alone.  While there are contemporary models rigged with sails, there are also many hundreds, including those at the Royal Museum Greenwich and Preble Hall in Annapolis, that are fully rigged sans sails.    Three examples from the RMG  Collections website of models built in 1695, circa 1714, and 1720 follow.

About the NRG

If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.

The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.

The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
